Instructions
Make Cookie Crust: Preheat oven to 375° and spray a 9" pie plate with cooking spray. Press peanut butter cookie dough into bottom and up sides of pie plate. Bake 14 minutes. Let cool slightly, then use a measuring cup to press down dough so it forms a crust. Refrigerate while you make filling.
Make Filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a bowl and wipe bowl of stand mixer clean.
To bowl of stand mixer, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, brown sugar, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Beat in whipped cream and Reese’s until combined.
Add mixture to prepared pie crust and smooth top. Freeze 30 minutes until peanut butter layer is firm.
Make Ganache Topping: Bring heavy cream to a simmer. Turn off heat, add chocolate chips and whisk until combined. Spoon chocolate on top of the peanut butter pie.
Warm peanut butter in microwave for 20 seconds. Stir, then dollop small spoonfuls onto chocolate ganache layer. Gently drag a toothpick or butter knife through topping, creating a marbled effect.
Around edge of pie filling, place a ring of Reese’s Pieces. Refrigerate until firm, 2 to 3 hours.
